Customer Ratings & Reviews

Im a designer and I use the vertical mouse since 2010, it is a huge difference with other mouse, I can program buttons, and my wrist is relax and flows with the movement.

Way too costly for general use, if you have a wrist issue and your doctor or physical therapist recommend it, this vertical mouse is nice. It definitely takes some getting used to, and is still (after a month of solid use) is hard to 'drive' for detailed work (like drawings), but great for general mouse use. It would be nice if a major mouse vendor (hint Logitech!) would offer one in their line. Yet another wireless adapter taking up a USB port and more drivers on the computer make for more troubleshooting RF and software collisions.

I work in an office and the mouse is like my hand almost. I had a standard flat type mouse and I was really getting cramps and spams in my wrist. I wanted to try and see how the ergonomic mouse will differ, and oh, differ it did! My wrist pain is %90 gone, I'm not saying it'll be gone fully, because you're still overworking your hand and wrist by even holding a mouse for hours but it is at least at a much more anatomically natural stance. On top, it has a lot of buttons where you can program for cut, copy, paste, refresh, calculator etc... And there's even another software, which is by a developer, that can give much deeper button configuration option. Only one down side is that the it's not super responsive to small movements, it might need more hand travel than you'd expect when working in a super detailed area, but for regular use, it's more than capable to satisfact majority of the people. Overall, it'll prevent me from getting carpal tunnel and I don't need to stretch my wrist every hour.

I am a video editor and I have to be in the computer for long hours, I had been using a regular mouse for a long time when suddenly I started feeling pain in my hand one day, I didn't know what to do and I couldn't stop working because the deadline of my projects where approaching, so I looked up for ergonomic mouses and according to the reviews I thought this was the most appropiate for me, I use a Retina Mac book pro and it was easy to install, I just Plug it in and it ran smoothly. It is a little bulky but as long as it keeps my hand safe from pain, I am ok with it. Great buy so far!

Here's the deal. I've been working with computers for the past 20 years, and due to repetitive motion and bad ergonomics...I have bouts of metacarpal tunnel syndrome. Lately it started acting up again, so I took some reward certs and got a wireless Evoluent mouse. I had one years ago, while in California, but it was wired and it would get sweaty. this one is new & improved, glad to say. works like a charm, doesn't strain my hand or wrist. It's easily programmable, don't get sweaty, AND...on the bottom the base curves out just enough for your little finger to rest on. Despite the size and shape, I find that it isn't problematic moving the Evoluent mouse. (I still use a mouse pad but that's another story.) My one gripe is the price. When I went to make a purchase it was $106. Lucky me, I had $50 in Rewards certificates so it wasn't so bad. i understand the economics of it---a useful product for a smaller segment of the market--but eliminating the wired version and just selling the wireless would allow them to sell at a lower price. Just saying!

I only use vertical mice because of wrist issues, and this one is pretty good. I also needed wired because of Bluetooth interference in my office. This mouse does have a little bit of a learning curve, but after a while it's seamless. Programmable buttons are nice, but you'll probably remove functionality from the middle button- it's too easy to accidentally click

A vertical mouse takes a while to get used to; sometimes I have the tendency to grasp it at the top with my palm down like a regular mouse, but I'm willing to work with it. It's a big plus that the mouse buttons can be customized after you download and install the software. I wish Best Buy sold the wireless version of this small mouse. They sell the large Evoluent wireless mouse but not the small wireless version. I can't speak to the longevity of this product yet.

Prestige Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Wireless Mouse: Enjoy lasting comfort while you navigate features on your PC or Mac using this wireless mouse, which provides freedom of motion and features an ergonomic, vertical design with an extended lip to fully support your hand.

I owned two of these: one for the office (pre-Covid19) and one for home. They helped with my carpal tunnel syndrome. When I use someone else's regular mouse, my CTS comes back. My mice lasted several years (7 and 9 years) and I recently purchased a new replacement for the home mouse. The issue started with the right-click starting to malfunction. I've dropped them on the floor occasionally but they have lasted me a long time despite the long use and numerous drops. I also own the small wireless version (brown vs purple color) but I prefer wired because I don't like the response latency.

This is a very good ergonomic mouse. It's not cheap, but Beast Buy has a competitive price and it is worth it. This replaced an older mouse (same model) that had been touched a few time too many by food (lunch) being eaten while mousing that caused some stickiness of the buttons. Obviously, don't let what you are eating with your hands get into the mouse. Buttons are programmable so you can add a double click button as one of the six buttons available (I use the middle one for this). Smooth operation all around. Great for long mousing time periods.

Since I’ve been using this mouse all the pain I was having in my wrist and forearm is GONE. My brother told me about this product and he says the same thing!! It keeps your wrist and arm at a natural angle.

I switched to use this mouse few years ago and don't use regular since then. It feels so natural, no twisting bones anymore and hand pain!

Must be able to install drivers to program the second button to Right-Click instead of the third button on right side. I work for DoD so I cannot have drivers installed or wireless/blue tooth mice which makes this mouse too expensive. I don’t want to train my motor skills at home where I can install the drivers I really needed something for work. I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Hard to find plug and play ergonomic mice that are not wireless!

I made the switch to a vertical mouse to relieve pain in my wrist and arm. I will never go back to the normal mouse. This mouse is excellent.

I really like this mouse. However, the durability of the product is lacking. I've just had a 4th Evoluent product fail due to the left mouse button no longer functioning. Two for work, two at home, all the same issue. I've read reviews on other retailer sites with similar issues. It is a real shame because I love this mouse. Having to shell out the premium price for a product that isn't durable is a downer.

as much as I wanted to like this I just didn't, it was slow and not accurate, and using the software actually caused a known glitch per their IT dept, where auto clicking wouldn't turn off, until you uninstalled the software deleted all remnants of the software.

I purchased this fairly expensive mouse to help with one of my co-workers with her carpal tunnel issues. Setting up the mouse was fairly simple. I just plugged in the USB dongle and her windows machine auto installed the drivers. There is also software made by the manufacturer that you can easily download from their website, which gives you the ability to program the mouse buttons for different clicks and tasks. The physical design was nice and was much more comfortable than using a horizontal mouse. Mouse performance was unaffected by the design and pointing is precise. It definitely has a different feel than a traditional mouse, but my co-worker says her wrist issues are benefiting from the ergonomic design.

Helped me prevent a major carpal tunnel issue. My wrist was hurting a lot with a regular mouse, but after I switched to this more ergonomical design, the pain went completely away. Highly recommend it.

Easy to set up. Ergonomic features are fantastic. I was issued one by my company for wrist strain. I tried to use my traditional mouse at home but was like trying to write with my left hand (I'm right handed). Worth every penny.

it is good quality, but it is too large and heavy for me.
